  • A combination of various renewables (solar, wind, hydro in its various forms), combined with sustainable high density storage and a global network of power delivery with multiple redundancies is the solution.

    But it will obviously not happen as it isn’t in shareholders’ interest to have sustainable, cheap energy.








  • theVeterans can be … rejected on apartment applications

    what the fuck is wrong in the US? You can have the money, the income, etc., and still be rejected an apartment just because there was a dropped criminal investigation in your past? Not even a conviction, just an investigation. I was investigated (case dropped) in Hungary because my ex flatmate defrauded a bunch of people in relation to the flat (landlord, electric, water and heating providers, among other things), then tried to blame me for them, going as far as reporting me to the police (who quickly discovered that I wasn’t the responsible party at the times indicated and all the fraud happened after I moved out, so the case was dropped). In the US, a landlord could seriously deny my application for housing purely based on such an investigation taking place? This is beyond ridiculous.




  • See this is something I don’t get about billionaires.

    You already have enough money to literally buy ANYTHING you want. You might not be able to buy slaves but you can pay people to do shit for you, there’s even people out there who’d be down for a whipping for a few thousand dollars… You’re literally king of the world, without moving a pinkie.

    And instead of using all that money, all that wealth to get new experiences, learn new things, discover new places, literally do things no-one has ever done before… what do you ask for?

    More money.

    It’s not even greed anymore at that point, it’s a psychological issue, akin to hoarding, except your hoarding ruins the entire planet.

    Billionaires shouldn’t exist, period.



  • apologies, the video wouldn’t load so I presumed it was one of the in-depth rants about how Trump is just a symptom and how others are in control.

    I also seriously misread the OOP, but in my defense it was 3am and I’ve been running on 2-3hr of sleep a day for a while now.

    And yes, my account was inactive for a while as the federated Reddit alternatives haven’t been teeming with much content or discourse when I original joined, and a recent Reddit ban that nuked all my alts was the trigger to continue moving back here. Alas not a bot and I’ve been using this nickname for the better part of the past ~25 years.
